Music of the Minnesinger and Early Meistersinger From 1949 to 2004, UNC Press and the UNC Department of Germanic & Slavic Languages and Literatures published the UNC Studies in the Germanic Languages and Literatures series. Monographs, anthologies, and critical editions in the series covered an array of topics including medieval and modern literature, theater, linguistics, philology, onomastics, and the history of ideas. Through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, books in the series have been reissued in new paperback and open access digital editions. For a complete list of books visit www.uncpress.org.

Classification: lcc pd25 .n6 no. 32 | dcc 016/ .7800712 TO FOUR GENERATIONS OF GOOD FRIENDS GENE, BOYKIN, LARRIE, EUGENE PREFACE The study of the songs of the Minnesinger is complicated by the fact that most of the tunes have come down to us only in late manuscripts, with the original Ton or Weise accompanied by new texts by later poets, leaving questions of authenticity or corruption to be solved. In addition to this, histories of mediaeval music frequently treat as Minnesinger certain poets whom the historian of literature considers as Meistersinger. I have not attempted to settle this disagreement, but have included both groups, with dates, wherever available, to distinguish between the earlier Minne- singer and the later Meistersinger. The bibliography is arranged alphabetically by composer, with each of his songs in alphabetical order following any general work on the com- poser. It will be noted that the same tune may occur a number of times, with different words. Perhaps I should have eliminated this multiple use, but since many of these entries have become part of musical literature, I have presented them as found. Under each song is listed, where pertinent and available to me, the manuscript and folio, any ascription or designa- tion of tune contained in the manuscript, publication, with reproduction of mediaeval notation designated by i, transcription into modern nota- tion by i Occasionally I have cited editions of the text without music. The list of manuscripts at the beginning of the book gives general facts on the manuscript, and any publication or facsimile reproduction. There- after the manuscripts are cited by place and number, or the more exten- sive manuscripts such as the Colmar or Jena by name. After the list of manuscripts is given a list of publications with the abbreviations used for them. There are doubtless many shortcomings to this bibliography, chief among which is the need for re-assignment to the original words of tunes borrowed by later writers, yet I hope that an orderly listing will be of use to students of German literature and music. No collection of material such as this would have been possible without the help of my friends and the libraries I have secured materials from. Among the many who have helped, I should like especially to thank Pro- fessor John G. Kunstmann for the use of his books and his knowledge, Miss Thelma Thompson and Mr. Keith Mixter for numerous friendly aids, Dr. Ewald Jammers of Heidelberg, Dr. Wilhelm Virneisel of Tii- bingen, for their very generous checking and securing for me basic ma- terials. Lastly, I am very grateful to my fellow alumni, whose financial assistance, through the University Research Council, have made publica- tion possible.
